howl's moving castle

[grady]

I'm just gonna come out and say it. Overrated.

I'm in the same boat as gambit, though I'm feeling more bored and tired, yes it was wonderfully beautiful to look at and told a very whimsical story but it just didn't sell me the first time I saw it last summer when it opened theatrically here in the states.

Incidentally, it's still playing at this second run brew pub theater I work at in Portland on the weekends running the projectors. I watched most of the film again and was still not moved by it. Unintentional laughter was abound during the final few minutes during Saturday afternoon's showing.

I do enjoy Miyazaki's films and even though I didn't like this particular one as a whole, there were many wonderful aspects to it.
